Singapore's MetaComp Launches AI Agent Framework for Financial Compliance and Payments

Gate News message, April 21 — Singapore-based MetaComp launched the StableX Know Your Agent framework to govern AI agents used in regulated payments compliance and wealth management workflows.

The framework covers agent identity, permissions, monitoring, audit trails, and agent-to-agent interactions. It was designed with guidance from Singapore’s IMDA and FATF Travel Rule principles. MetaComp said the framework is the first of its kind published by a licensed financial institution and is open for use by financial institutions, regulators, and network partners.

The framework addresses gaps MetaComp identified in existing compliance tools. The company’s review of over 7,000 transactions found that relying on a single blockchain analytics tool can result in false clean rates as high as 24.55%, potentially causing financial institutions to miss high-risk transactions. In response, MetaComp built the Web2.5 VisionX Engine, which screens activity in parallel across more than four independent blockchain analytics vendors, reducing the false clean rate to ≤0.24%.

MetaComp’s AgentX product converts its regulated financial capabilities into downloadable financial Skills, initially supporting Anthropic’s Claude model with support for other models to follow. The company recently raised US$35 million from investors including Alibaba to expand its P2B2C network across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. The long-term vision is a standard architecture where AI agents use downloadable financial Skills to make cross-border payments and treasury management governed, auditable, and compliant from inception.
